I'm mobile and can't spot or test your problem.
Normally I recommend replacing given/when with for/if-constructs.
But in this particular case I don't understand why you are not simply using an array or a hash, holding the number's names.

Ehm... did you activate switch?
use feature "switch"; or use 5.010;
update
DB<103> @num=qw/Zero One Two Three Four/
=> ("Zero", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four")
DB<104> $var=2; print "$var is $num[$var]";
=> 1
2 is Two

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
